[@monicaegan4789]

March 2021- I decided to dust off my sewing machine. I was very excited to find your video. You made the instructions so easy. Applause to you. ** I was curious to know if you have to add a seam allowance to the bodice pattern?

[@DamiDimension]

I'm glad to have you here. Yes you need to add seam allowance:)

[@lynnettebraye1319]

God bless you, Thank you for simple instructions on making a bodice pattern. My questions is for the dart, do you add 1 inch or 1/2 inch?

[@McManorEnterprise]

my shoulder slope is 5.25 inches but when i follow this video, and measure my slope its 4.5 inch. will it fit

[@nonnieanne2660]

Beautiful blouse.. Is there a video on how to draft it

[@evabonet6826]

[@Amelia-zb8iw]

Mention the measurements on the screen with allowance for the betterment of the beginners. We tend to forget. We can revise later. Thx Demi.

[@beayemehari4837]

Thanks for your kindness help,I appreciate your spending time to teach us.please if possible we chat for more information.

[@rasikakurupitage4100]

Dear Dami, I have a doubt. For armhole depth, how can we get the measurements? From shoulder to down or from 1" down slanting line?

[@Looksandluxurybysandra]

Thank u soooo much God bless you Dami

[@folayemiiaderibigbe1003]

thanks for the video GOD bless you please what do i do when the ease is too much in the front

[@ggburg8118]

I was wondering why you did not include a seam allowance to your neck and armhole areas? Thank you. I enjoy watching sewing and pattern making videos. As a self taught sewer, I learn so much from all the videos people take the time to post.

[@DamiDimension]

It's not compulsory. Thank you for watching 😊

[@babydine4359]

Thanks so much Dami Dimension. I really enjoyed the video. Pls my question is this....I noticed you marked the bust measurement after dividing by 4 on the chest line not on the shoulder to bust line you took earlier. Pls can you explain. I am 2weeks old and wants to really understand the whole process. Awaiting your response thanks so much.

[@tosinsolomon5383]

[@peterarieta2836]

Hello and thank you for this lesson just a question plese... do we have to put a seam allownce afer we make this pttern or no?? i notice you said you have put in aseajm allwance incse you put on weight. just making sure that the fitting we give i enogh thqnk yu

[@SparkyOne549]

Yes you put in seam allowance, on the pattern or your fabric. Seam allowance is not for weight gain. Ease is for weight gain or extra fabric for moving. Do your homework.

[@elizabethadeoti7358]

Please I need a video on how to draft a six gore skirt also how to cut it on fabric thanks

[@pramila5417]

Thanks for larn

[@adenike1230]

Hi Dami Can I also use this pattern to cut a blazer

[@mitchsalazar5414]

Do i put seam allowance in neck and sleeve,shoulder?

[@sylvestermensah1719]

Please is the 10", 16" and 24" from the shoulder line from the beginning of the video the standard (works for everyone) or varies from individual to individual? Thank you

[@DamiDimension]

It's not a standard, I measured myself to get those.

[@sylvestermensah1719]

Thanks a lot🙏

[@thelmanzenwata1920]

How did you measure it pls?

[@jenicemarroquin2842]

Hello how do u get the measurement for chest calculation for the armhole.. thank u

[@deborahchidimma9540]

What about the zip allowance for the back panel?

[@maribelanastacio4215]

Thank you much appreciated...I’ve learned a lot from you...please show me how to make neck bond for men t-shirt.

[@AiceOsubor]

Please what paper did you use for this. Kindly included your material sources, paper, fabric, marker etc in the description box. Thanks

[@adriannaarthur8705]

What did you mean we are going to add half an inch on both sides for the dart? Why do we add half an inch to half of the nipple to nipple measurement?

[@mheriamdato-on9659]

i would like to ask question if there is any adjustment to the measurement when im willing to put a sleeve like this measurements in the vedeo? sorry i'm just learning and subscribe your vedeo thanks

[@ALIWan74]

thanks!

[@charityamoni7980]

Thank you

[@Amelia-zb8iw]

No allowance for the shoulder and armhole round. I think you missed out to mention. Mention on the screen. That will be advisable. Thx. Good for the beginners to keep in mind. We tend to forget. When will you show video on cap sleeves Dami ??? Please tag me. God bless.👍

[@marycee783]

The problem I used to have is when drafting of fabric how to trace the darts on the fabric that is the area there is no maker I find it difficult to trace them out on fabric when i want to sew

[@lamNgozi]

Am firsssssttt ooo

[@DamiDimension]

Thank you for watching hon

[@umunnamaryann1875]

You didn’t add zip allowance at the back pattern?

[@Amelia-zb8iw]

How many inches did you take from chest line to the bust line ? Any standard measurements ... 1 " or 2" ? Pl explain. Confused. Thx.

[@gloriajohn7603]

Good evening ,Pls l want to ask lf the person burst measurement is 50 inches round, what will be armhole measurements.

Thanks for watching, I didn't make this. I got my tools online.

[@hermajohnson8309]

Do you have written instructions for the bodice? i would greatly appreciate a copy. Thank you.

[@phebeolapeju3785]

What is the name of the paper you are using for the illustration? Is it pattern paper? I ask bcos it’s strong and I need too. So if you can direct me where to buy it. Thank you

[@sharonHossan3887]

Why is the back of a straight dress have a buff at the center back?

[@barbaraquansah5302]

I followed the procedure to the end but after I was done and used it to cut out my fabric and after sewing .....I had the armhole pointing down to the beginning of the dart puffing out ,for the front bodice.... Please what did I do wrong?

[@blessedasurrance5401]

Ok, thanks.

[@narkwa31]
